COVID-19 Philanthropic Response Funds for Greater Philadelphia
Local governments and philanthropic partners have come together to support Greater Philadelphia's nonprofit community in response to COVID-19.

PHL COVID-19 Fund
The PHL COVID-19 Fund will rapidly provide grants to Greater Philadelphia non-profit organizations with a successful track record of serving at-risk populations such as the elderly, people with disabilities, people experiencing homelessness, and those who are economically disadvantaged. These grants will allow the nonprofits to continue providing community safety nets such as food pantries and health services, as well as preparedness and protection services, such as hygiene supplies and access to accurate information. Eligible nonprofit organizations can apply for grants funds here.
